If you had to choose an identity to go undercover, you'd choose a gynecologist.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the messy bed.

Mingjing slowly woke up, and the crazy scenes from last night instantly flooded her mind.

She saw the marks on her body, then looked at Chen Qing, who was still fast asleep beside her. His exposed skin was covered with scratches, and his face showed signs of fatigue.

Mingjing's cheeks instantly burned, so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. She instinctively covered her face with her hands.

Just then, Chen Qing slowly woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up, covered his face with his hands, and began to sob.

"Mingjing, how could you do this? I never imagined you were this kind of person! My innocence is gone just like that..."

Mingjing was at a loss for what to do, feeling both ashamed and anxious. Suddenly remembering the bowl of medicine from last night, she hurriedly explained, "I don't know what happened! I... I didn't mean to! I'm sorry, Chen Qing, I remember now, it must be Mingtai! He put something in the medicine, otherwise I would never have done such a thing!"

Chen Qing's sobs gradually subsided. He lowered his hand, his eyes red-rimmed, and looked at Ming Jing with a hint of hesitation: "Was it really the medicine Ming Tai gave me?"

"Absolutely true!" Mingjing said firmly, already harboring resentment towards Minglou and Mingcheng. She was certain they had condoned Mingtai's machinations. "This...this is a misunderstanding. It's all that brat Mingtai's fault. But don't worry, this is my first time too...I will definitely take responsibility for you!"

Chen Qing was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Alright then, Mingjing, I won't hold this against you. Let's just pretend nothing happened."

Looking at the pieces of clothing scattered on the ground, he said with difficulty, "But... I can't just go out like this."

"Wait here, I'll go find you some clothes right away." Mingjing quickly agreed, put on her clothes, and ran out of the room as if she were escaping.

She rummaged through Minglou's dressing room for a long time before picking out a fine, expensive suit, the size of which was not much different from Chen Qing's.

When Mingjing returned to her room with the clothes, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

The entire villa was eerily quiet; there wasn't a single sound of servants moving around, and no noise could be heard downstairs either.

Last night, even Mingtai was frightened by the noise upstairs and ran away, spending the night at the Paramount Ballroom.

She walked into the courtyard, which was empty. Minglou, Mingcheng, and all the servants were nowhere to be seen.

"These little bastards dared to scheme against your older sister, I won't let them get away with it," Mingjing thought bitterly.

She thought of Chen Qing's scratches all over his body and his fit physique, and couldn't help but swallow hard, then burst out laughing.

I've wasted all these years!

Her face flushed, and she quickly rummaged through the liniment and cotton swabs, then took them upstairs.

She carefully applied the liniment to Chen Qing's body, taking the opportunity to rub herself quite a bit. Finally, like a dutiful wife, she meticulously helped Chen Qing get dressed, and couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck: "Chen Qing, I will take responsibility for you."

Chen Qing lowered his head and subconsciously put his arm around her waist.

Mingjing raised her head, looked at Chen Qing with deep affection, and couldn't help but kiss him again.

After a long while, the two finally separated. Chen Qing blushed and said, "I...I should go back now."

Chen Qing fled downstairs as if running away, and left the Ming family's house.

"Even his escape is so stylish."

Mingjing watched his fleeing figure through the window, a sweet and infatuated feeling welling up in her heart.

.....................

Chen Qing hailed a rickshaw and returned to Ping'an Lane. He finally realized that he had probably been tricked by Ming Lou. That damned viper!

Minglou and Mingtai had already gone into hiding. Minglou spent the night at Wang Manchun's place, while Fujita Yoshimasa had all the heads of intelligence agencies from various regions go to Nanjing for a meeting to discuss sharing intelligence with Chongqing to deal with the Red Party.

Nantian Yangzi went to Nanjing for a meeting, and Minglou made an excuse that he had something to do and asked Mingcheng to go in his place, which also created an opportunity for Mingcheng to seduce Nantian Yangzi.

Mingtai ran away, saying he was going back to HKU ahead of schedule, but he was actually hiding. Mingjing wanted to vent her anger on someone, but she couldn't find anyone.

Chen Qing didn't dare to go to Ming Jing anymore. Ming Jing's eyes clearly showed that she had fallen in love. He was a playboy who had been with countless women without ever getting attached to them. He couldn't afford to ruin his image.

And the Ming brothers are all shrewd people; they're conspiring against him and definitely up to no good. Chasing girls and being schemed against are two different things. He needs to hide for a while, calm down, and figure out Ming Lou's purpose.

...............

Mingjing is busy again. The factory has started mass production of penicillin, and it won't be long before it hits the market. This is something that can change the whole world.

Mingjing naturally attached great importance to this and had been preparing for the launch event of penicillin.

There's another matter: the account she used to transfer money to the Red Party can no longer be used, and Uncle Li must be notified immediately.

Last time I originally planned to go see Uncle Li the next day, but Uncle Li had an urgent mission and went to Nanjing, so he wasn't in Shanghai.

Mingjing was extremely anxious. Today was the day for the money transfer, and someone would be going to collect it tomorrow. If someone from the Red Party went to collect the money and got arrested, it would be a real problem.

With Minglou and Mingcheng both absent, she was at a loss and could only turn to Chen Qing. She had an inexplicable trust in this man and believed that he would definitely have a way to stop her people from withdrawing the money.

She hurriedly drove to Ping'anli to find Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was taking a female patient's pulse when Ming Jing rushed in.

Seeing her anxious expression, Chen Qing mumbled to the woman, "It's nothing serious, just poor blood circulation. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate it."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it over casually.

Chen Qing got up, pulled Mingjing out of the clinic, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? You look so anxious."

"I have something very important to tell you, it's extremely urgent! We'll talk about it in the car, this isn't the place to do that."

He looked at Mingjing's anxious face and a bizarre thought suddenly popped into his head: Could she be pregnant? It can't be that fast, can it? It's only been a few days since he last saw her.

The two got into the car, and Mingjing drove to a deserted street. Mingjing stopped the car, and Chen Qing asked, "What exactly happened?"

Mingjing took a deep breath, turned his head, and said with a serious look in his eyes, "To tell you the truth, I am a member of the Red Party."

"What?" Chen Qing was stunned, his eyes widening. She had just bluntly said something that could cost him his life, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Ming... Mingjing, this is no joke. How could you just tell me this like that?"

"I had no choice. I have an account for the Red Party's operating funds. I deposit the money into the account on the 14th of each month, and a Red Party comrade will collect it on the 15th. But now, this account has been exposed, and I can't contact the person who's going to collect the money tomorrow. If he goes to HSBC to collect the money tomorrow, he'll definitely be arrested by the 76th Division. Then, if they follow the clues, I'll be exposed too, and the entire Ming family will be finished! Wang Manchun has been watching me closely, looking for my weaknesses everywhere. I'm really at my wit's end."

Chen Qing fell silent, quickly considering a solution. He couldn't remain uninvolved in this matter, either personally or professionally. Finally, he raised his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "Leave it to me."

Mingjing asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Don't worry about that, I won't let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, my shares in the Ming family will be gone." He deliberately used a joke to lighten the heavy atmosphere.

"Okay!" Mingjing's heart suddenly calmed down; this man made her feel incredibly at ease.

Do you know the person who withdrew the money?

Mingjing shook her head. "I don't know him. I only communicate with the middleman; I don't meet the person who withdraws the money."

"Okay, I got it. Get me a car ready. Tomorrow I'll go to HSBC and stop this guy from withdrawing the money." Chen Qing suddenly remembered something, "And one more thing, be careful of Aunt Gui at home."

Mingjing was taken aback: "Aunt Gui? What happened to her?"

Chen Qing recalled the plot and said, "She's an agent of Yoko Nanta from the Special Higher Police, and she's been lurking around you for a long time. But you mustn't alert her; pretend you don't know anything and don't let her notice anything unusual."

Mingjing was shocked again, her face full of astonishment. "How did you know? Aunt Gui has been working diligently in the Ming family for so many years, how could she be..."

It seemed that Minglou hadn't told her the truth. Chen Qing interrupted her, "Don't ask about it. Just trust me. Be more careful in the future and don't let bad people take advantage of you."

"Okay, I understand." Mingjing took out the bankbook and handed it to him, suddenly sensing that this man was a bit mysterious.

He then left the car keys with him, got out of the car, hailed a rickshaw, and hurriedly drove away.
